Trekking in Nepal

Zoe goes on a trek in the foothills of Nepal. Everything in this country is new and exciting to her, from the majestic mountains to the friendly people and busy sights, sound and smells in the capital of Kathmandu. Zoe learns to respect the Nepalese way of life and a culture very different from her own.

The Snapshots program is a carefully staged literacy, science and maths resource for Middle and Upper Primary that features cultural encounters across our world. Each set of books provides a compelling insight into the lives and cultural heritage of children today and demonstrates how the heritage, culture and values of a country are exported to the world.
The countries featured reflect the diverse cultural groups which make up our schools today and include: Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, the Caribbean, China, Costa Rica, Egypt, France, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Nepal, Pacific Islands, Peru, Russia, Scotland, South Africa, the Arctic, Turkey, USA, Vietnam and West Africa.

Across the program the cultural ‘snapshot’ of each featured country is gained through:

Non-fiction Photo-essays that look at culture and identity through the eyes of a child or group of children.
Contemporary and Traditional Fiction from, or set in, the featured country that reflects the values, art and culture of that region.
Recounts/Biographies that provide compelling retellings and historical recounts about a person from the featured country or their encounter with that country.
Maths strand covers a range of concepts linked to facts about the country’s history, environment and culture.
Science titles feature interesting facts about each country tied to a broad range of topics in the life, physical and earth sciences.
Suitable for 8-12 year olds.
